[R-pkg-team] Bug#947004: S4Vectors Segmentation fault after r-base-core update (Was: Bug#947004: Tests segfaults (since the r-base-core update?))

[Pages, Herve]

Hi,

None of our build machines is able to reproduce this sorry:

   https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.10/bioc-LATEST/S4Vectors/
   https://bioconductor.org/checkResults/3.11/bioc-LATEST/S4Vectors/

My own attempt with latest R devel was also unsuccessful:

   https://github.com/Bioconductor/S4Vectors/issues/57

For me to be able to troubleshoot this, I would need to have access to 
your setup. How do I do that?

Thanks,

H.
